Chronology

Over the two decades that Vedavalli Schools has been around, we strive to continuously evolve, challenge ourselves and our students and learn from mistakes. We were one of the first to say that only marks were not enough to gauge a student's potential, we were the first to build a world class library in Ranipet, the first to build a science park for our children to learn from and encourage students to be just as creative in arts as in their studies.

Chronology of events

1994

In 1994 we decided to start a programme called “Project Day” where primary classes 4 and 5 were given a relevant topic they had to research, create models for, and present to visitors. We felt that this was more engaging for them, and got them to think creatively.
  • Started Vedavalli Vidyalaya at Walajapet from Classes 1 - 5
  • Started a Creche for staff children

  • Introduced the Project Day:

  • Formed four Houses
  • Set up an outdoor all purpose room

We launched these two special days in 1995 as a way of bringing the whole school together.

When we launched the class library in 1995 we did it to promote reading among the children, but two years later, we realized we needed a bigger space. Now we have one of the best collections of books in the area for both teachers and students.

This goes along with our core belief that students can not be judged only on marks. We introduced this in 1998, when CBSE only implemented it in 2005.
